Betydning

Contrast links ideas that differ or go against what we would expect. It can set two facts side by side or show that something happens despite an obstacle. Languages may use linking words, word order, or stress, and some have no dedicated contrast marker. Contrast can set whole statements against each other, while Comparison compares things in a chosen quality or amount.

Slik kjenner du det igjen

Look for ideas set against each other, especially where one makes the other unexpected.
